| Research Abstract |
The global energy problem requires the spread of solar cells, which can also decrease the environmental impact. A new manufacturing process which increases the productivity and reduces the energy consumption compared to conventional processes is desired. The recent progress of functional nano-materials provides a possibility of a new wet process technology for the innovation of electronic device manufacturing. In this study, semiconducting films were prepared by laser processing of organogermanium nanocluster/silicon hybrid films, and the photovoltaic properties of the heterojunction devices were investigated.
